A call for work: Jeff Conaway
Yesterday while I was watching the MJ memorial, I thought about death for a bit….well duh, but I realized that you never know when you could loose someone and I don’t want Jeff Conaway’s last great piece of work to be the clip above from season 2 of the unemployed formerly famous druggies’ dream Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.
Yes in the clip above his timing is a bit off and he looks as though he’s auditioning to be Dracula’s understudy, but his commitment to portraying the look of a 1000 year old vampire in a bikers jacket is astounding. The good shit in the video starts at about 2mins in and he proclaims to Dr.Drew that he is “a fighter.” He also mumbles through noting that he’s going to do better than he did in season 1. In case you didn’t watch the show whose season aired last year, he didn’t do much better, but when you DO CRAZY SHIT LIKE THIS in season 1, you’re only way is basically up.
So I hope that some casting director comes across this and does our good friend Vampire Jeff Conaway a solid by casting him in something that doesn’t involve him and addiction, but until then I’m gonna go have some tokes for Mr. Conaway. (who values his personal space….”GET UR FUCKIN HANDS OFF ME”)
